About

I am an instructor at Okanagan College who is interested in open-resource assessment and cognitive science in the mathematics classroom. If you would like to discuss one of these topics, or to have me visit your classroom, please email me at bryan.penfound@gmail.com. I am always happy to discuss mathematics and to present to all levels of learners!

Hi, I found your blog while searching for feedback on Waterloo MMT program. I have noticed that you’ve done MMT and another masters, may I ask why? What made you decide to get two masters, and what makes MMT stand out from a “regular” masters in math?

Hey Jackie,
the MMT is designed for high school teachers who might be looking to upgrade or extend their learning in many areas of mathematics. I took the second masters since I am heavily focused on mathematics teaching within my career, and I thought it would help me stand out from the crowd. It also allowed me to take some math courses that I wasn’t able to during my undergrad/grad programs such as math finance or cryptography. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me at bryan.penfound@gmail.com. 🙂
